This song is really easy- it was the first song I learned, and can be played on acoustic or electric (I prefer the acoustic even though it is AC/DC). It's one of the bands best, and it doesn't have any solo whatsoever, and it can be played completely with power chords, making it a great beginner song.

Also, this is a very amusing peice to play in public. Make your freinds laugh!

Without further ado, "Big Balls" by AC/DC

Note: the whole song is played on the D and A strings exclusively. You could add an extra note on the G, it is power chords, but why bother?
~ ring
/ slide

Intro: E5 ~ E5 D#5 D5 C5 ~ C5 D5 D#5 E5 ~ E5 D#5 D5 C5

C5 D5 D#5 E5 ~ E5 D#5 D5 C5 ~ C5/D5 ~ B5 B5 B5 B5 B5

(You have to hear the song to get the timing, but its really easy. the drum keeps regular beats)

Verse1:
________E5 ~ ________________ C5 ~
Well I'm upper, upper class high society

______E5 ~ _____________C5 ~
God's gift to ballroom notoriety

____________E5~_______________C5 ~
And I always fill my ballroom, the event is never small

_____D5 ~___________________B5_B5_B5__B5_B5
The social pages say I've got the biggest balls of all

Chorus:
hit the chord four times in tempo, that is, on the drumbeats
E5
I've got big balls
C#5
Oh I've got big balls
E5
They're such big balls
C#5
Dirty big balls
E5
And he's got big balls
C#5
And she's got big balls
_____C5__C5_C5_D5_D5_A5_A5_A5__B5
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

The rest of the song follows the same pattern

Verse 2:
My balls are always bouncing, and my ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list, no one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great balls of fire!

Chorus

Verse3:
Some Balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure they're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing to the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night

Chorus
repeat chorus for outro

That's all. Have fun with it! :lol:

I noticed that no one had replied (90 views), so let me be the first.

Thanks for posting this tab. I always turn Big Balls up when I'm in my car and it plays on my favorite classic rock radio station. And I've been having loads of fun playing it from your tab.

I play Big Balls with moveable barre chords for a fuller sound. As power chords are too simple and weak sounding, in my opinion. And on an acoustic, as I have yet to play it on my electric.

I've got a lot of good ideas. Trouble is... most of them suck!
